The trick play isnt really a trick play and more so a play that has died as time has went on with analytics and the way sticks are made. The Slap shot. No one expects anyone to really take the time to take one now a days because of the time needed to set it up and the inaccuracy that it can cause as a player. Being someone who plays defense the expectation a slap shot could still happen is there for many players and with how hard Mikkel shots - many forwards want to try and avoid actually blocking it too often. So the fake slap shot - followed by a real one thats low for big juicy rebounds as the forward positions in the face off dot in opposite side is a set play many can expect but never know when its about to happen. Keeping the anticipation and excitement around the play ever present. Mind you Montreal has an allergy for playoffs so maybe it can be seen one day.
